Description & Operation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Ford RV Cutaway, 1997 Ford Econoline, 1997 Ford Cutaway, and 1997 Ford Club Wagon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This vehicle has two module communications networks. A BUS which consists of a pair of twisted wires is used to transfer information between modules. The BUS consists of a (+) circuit No. 914 (Tan/Orange wire) and a (-) circuit No. 915 (Pink/Light Blue wire). The BUS is routed only to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Terminal No. 7 (Light Blue/White wire) of the DLC goes directly to 4-Wheel Anti-lock Brake (4WABS) module and air bag diagnostic monitor (also referred to as Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) module). This wire is referred to as the ISO 9141 communication link. For module locations, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS TABLE. In the event that a system failure exists, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in the module. A New Generation Star (NGS) scan tester and Data Link Connector (DLC) may be used for retrieving and clearing DTCs from the modules. DTC may be used for system diagnosis.
